Compiler Optimization to Improve Data Locality for Processor Multithreading

Over the last decade processor speed has increased dramatically, whereas the speed of the memory subsystem improved at a modest rate. Due to the increase in the cache miss latency (in terms of the processor cycle), processors stall on cache misses for a significant portion of its execution time. Mul...
